An obvious quick read, many people of a certain age would agree that Dr. Seuss was right on the money with his description of getting older and the physical changes and ailments that come with that. I also gave this book to my Aunt Anita for her 80th birthday, and enjoyed hearing her laugh in many different places.

So I encourage thee
to by two or three
of this fabulous book
or at least take a look.
The surprise will be yours
and I simply implore,
"You're Only Old Once!"
will give you pleasure galore.

Now...on a personal note...

I didn't have any Dr. Seuss books while growing up. (Insert your shock and awe here.) My mom, then a preschool teacher and now a kindergarten teacher's aid, felt they were too "busy" and didn't include any in our vast library of chidren's literature. I always thought I was missing something.

Although I don't have the Dr. Seuss books added to my grand list of "books to read in my lifetime" (I will write more about that list at some point), I do want to take one day and read all 60+ books in the Dr. Seuss library. I will have to go to the library to get these since I will most likely not acquire them any time soon, that is, unless one of my readers is a generous benefactor and would like to buy them for me. I am willing to take pretty much any donations willing to be given!

(DISCLAIMER TO MY HUSBAND: I am not responsible for any eye rolling you may do as I expand my literary library. You have a recording studio, I should be allowed my library. And don't give me that look about my yarn either!)

Welcome to the wild & crazy life that is mine

What began as a blog about all the books I haven't read has now turned into what else is filling my shelves. Of course, there are still plenty of books, but also on my shelves are yarn, crocheting, motherhood, work, writing, and life. Not necessarily in that order.

Most of my past posts are about books, but you may also find posts about awesome things like yarn and crocheting and silliness and fun and love and, depending on my mood, a crafty story or two.

If this is your first visit, welcome! I hope you enjoy what you find. If you're returning, welcome back and thank you. If you know me personally, I hope you find some fun and humor in what I've written and I will try my best not to write about you. Or, if I do, I will change your name.

Be well. Be happy. Love your life. It's precious and priceless, and nobody has one exactly like it.
